Got a call claiming to be from some UK National Survey, sounded legit. But months down the line I tried calling back and the number’s gone dead. Pretty sure it's just a scam.

Didn’t pick up, the call showed as spam on my phone.

They’re obviously scammers. I pressed 9 to get off their list, like they told me to, and then they go, "Awesome, we'll hold your spot in the queue." What kind of nonsense is that?

Oh great, another missed call from the same number - definitely looks like a SCAM to me!

Seriously, just block and report straight away!!! If anyone else gets a message like this from this number, don’t bother replying – it’s a total scam. Got a text saying my bank stopped a payment for some Airbnb booking and told me to get in touch about it. No way, not falling for that! Blocked them right away. 🚫

Not sure if this is definitely a scam, since I haven't picked up, but I've been getting loads of calls from numbers that look the same. I've seen this number searched about 25 times, so I'm pretty convinced it's some sort of scam.

They called claiming they were from Vodafone but it was just a scam, avoid talking to them!

I’m not sure but I keep getting calls from 033 numbers and I never pick up, feels like it could be a scam or something.

I keep getting calls from someone claiming to be a “local energy advisor”. What exactly makes them qualified for that? It’s so irritating, been happening for ages now. Just a sales pitch, but why don’t they get blocked or stopped?

Got some rude texts and calls from the number 07732281644, saying I owed money or they’d show up in person, which was pretty intimidating. They mentioned something about me booking an escort and wasting their time, asking for £700.00 and threatening harm to me and my family if I didn’t pay. Total scam, no doubt. Just block and move on!

Got a couple of calls today from a number I didn’t recognise, no one spoke when I answered so I’m guessing it’s some call centre. Not sure who they were trying to reach though.

My phone showed it was some kind of spam number, so I just ignored it.

Tried ringing it but the call wouldn’t go through, said something about the number not being valid. Definitely not a real one.

This number's just sitting idle, not doing anything. It's registered on a Giffgaff SIM, but hasn't been active.

Got a call flagged as a ‘probable telemarketer’ from what looks like somewhere in Manchester. It was one of those 0161 numbers I keep getting loads of times daily, just the final few digits change every time. It’s getting really annoying, all these constant calls. Never leave a message either. Seriously, don’t pick up these calls! I’ve blocked ‘em again 🚫!

Got a message sayin HSBC-UK stopped a £249.99 transaction at John Lewis. It told me to text back ‘N’ if it wasn’t me. Sounded dodgy since the number didn’t look like HSBC. Marked the call right away as a scam or nuisance. Watch out, folks!

Watch out for scams! Don’t ever reply to calls, texts or emails from numbers you don’t know. And don’t let anyone record your voice - there’s loads about ‘voice cloning fraud’ online if you want to check. If you get scammed, report everything straight to the police or Ofcom. You can text the number and details, even if it’s a silent call, to 7726. When they ask, reply again to confirm. Also, mark the call as spam on your phone. For suspicious texts, send them on to 7726 and report them through your phone’s spam feature too. Keep an eye out for replies as they might need you to confirm stuff. If you get scammy emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and use the phishing report option (usually in the email’s menu). Reporting on every platform helps the authorities spot patterns and take action. Google 7726 and '[email protected]' for more advice. Stay safe!

Beware of scams! Don't ever reply to unknown calls, texts, or emails. Never let anyone record your voice - look up ‘voice cloning scams’ online to understand why. Make sure you report any suspicious calls or messages through official police or Ofcom channels designed for this exactly. If you get a text or call, send the number and details (even if it’s a silent call) to 7726. You might have to respond again to confirm. Don’t forget to also mark the call as spam on your phone. For texts, forward them to 7726 as well and use your phone’s facility to report spam messages. Keep an eye out for replies because you may be asked for confirmation. Spam emails? Forward them to [email protected] and report the phishing attempt using your email provider’s tools (usually found under options or the three-dot menu). Many reports from different people help authorities take action, so don’t hesitate to report every incident. Just search 7726 and [email protected] for further guidance. Stay safe out there!

Didn’t pick up, my phone just flagged it as a probable nuisance call. Turns out it really was one.

This number wasn’t saved on my phone. I let it ring through to voicemail and after a few seconds of quiet, the call just ended. Decided to block it.

Got a call from a number I didn't know, so I looked it up in my contacts and it wasn’t there. Then I checked the UK caller list online and saw quite a few comments from others saying the same thing about this number being a waste of time. Seems dodgy, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. Cheers to everyone who’s already flagged it!

Today I noticed a missed call from Kendal in the UK.

They keep ringing non stop, so I just went ahead and blocked every number with that prefix. No idea who they are but seriously, they should be banned from making calls altogether.

I got a call but no one greeted me or said anything, so I kept quiet. After a bit of silence, they just ended the call. Looks like it could be a scam to me.

Got a message claiming to be from Lloyds Banking Group, saying they arranged a direct debit for British Gas and I needed to ring 0113 330 8712 straight away. Felt a bit dodgy to me.
